Visual (seeing)

Sight is processed through the 'Visual' sense. Visual sensory stimuli is 'picked up' through visual receptors located in the eye and are stimulated by light, colour and movement.

This is different from problems involving sight or sharpness of vision. In this section, we will concentrate on students who have difficulty regulating visual input. Difficulties regulating visual input can result in sensitivity to light and moving images or a student may seek out increased amounts of visual input.

Activities

Proprioceptive (body awareness)

The proprioceptive system is located in our muscles and joints. It provides us with a sense of body awareness and detects/controls force and pressure. The proprioceptive system also has an important regulatory role in sensory processing as proprioceptive input can assist in controlling responses to sensory stimuli.

Proprioceptive input can be very calming for those who are easily overwhelmed by sensory stimulation.

Proprioceptive input can be alerting for those who need increased sensory stimulation to facilitate attention and learning.

Many students with autism seek proprioceptive input in order to regulate their emotional and behavioural responses to sensory stimulation.

The proprioceptive system is located in our muscles and joints. It provides us with a sense of body awareness and detects/controls force and pressure. The proprioceptive system also has an important regulatory role in sensory processing as proprioceptive input can assist in controlling responses to sensory stimuli.

Proprioceptive input can be very calming for those who are easily overwhelmed by sensory stimulation.

Proprioceptive input can be alerting for those who need increased sensory stimulation to facilitate attention and learning.

Many students with autism seek proprioceptive input in order to regulate their emotional and behavioural responses to sensory stimulation.

It should be noted, however, that some students may be overresponsive to proprioceptive input and will therefore avoid the activities listed below. It is important to find alternative calming strategies for these students as listed in other sections.

Indicators that a student is seeking proprioceptive input

Bites/chews on objects e.g. sleeve of jumper, pen/pencil

Hyperextends joints e.g. bending back fingers, locking knee joints

Bangs body parts e.g. bangs hands together, bangs jaw with hand

Holds objects with excessive pressure e.g. pencil; writes heavily on page

Enjoys rough and tumble play but can be excessively rough with others

Throws self heavily onto floor

Prefers to run, jump or stamp heavily when he/she should be walking

Likes to sit with knees tucked under himself/herself

Engages in weightbearing activities e.g. swinging on desks, climbing

Walks on tiptoes (NB there are other possible factors for this gait pattern; seeking proprioceptive input is just one factor)

Providing proprioceptive activities can enhance a student's learning in the classroom. These activities will help a student to achieve a calm and alert state which then improves emotional wellbeing and the ability to engage and learn.

Ideas for Proprioceptive Activities

Proprioceptive activities involve providing intensive input to the muscles and joints. Some ideas are provided here but you may wish to develop your own ideas which will suit your students and your classroom routine. Think of activities which will work the muscles and joints:

Weightbearing activities e.g. crawling, push-ups

Resistance activities e.g. pushing/pulling

Heavy lifting e.g. carrying books

Cardiovascular activities e.g.running, jumping on a trampoline

Oral activities e.g. chewing, blowing bubbles

Deep pressure e.g. tight hugs

Consider the following factors when introducing proprioceptive activities:

WHAT is the purpose of the activity?

Are you using the activity to calm an overresponsive child?

Are you using the activity to increase input to an underresponsive or sensory seeking child?

WHEN will the activity take place?

If using the activity to calm an anxious student, try to introduce the activity before he/she becomes anxious and distressed. Identify trigger points for anxiety (e.g. the playground, Music, Assembly) and implement the proprioceptive input before these times. This will then keep him/her calm during these times. Incorporate the activities into the student's timetable or visual schedule.

Some students may be able to recognise when they are becoming stressed and request permission to participate in a calming activity. Use a visual support so the student can request the break without the need for verbal communication.

The activities can also be used to calm a student who becomes suddenly and unexpectedly distressed by sensory input. The teacher should use a visual support to direct the student to an appropriate activity. The activity should be very familiar to the student so that he can perform it easily and independently.

If using the activity to provide increased input in order to alert an underresponsive or sensory seeking student, identify the times when he/she tends to be disengaged or seeking input, and incorporate proprioceptive activities at these times. This will often be before and after sitting to do quiet/independent work.

Some students may be able to recognise when they are losing attention or becoming restless, and can then request a break for proprioceptive activities to re-engage attention.

If the teacher notices students becoming lethargic or restless, direct them to carry out a proprioceptive activity, or carry out activities with the whole class.

HOW OFTEN will the activities take place?

Identify when the overresponsive student is becoming distressed or when the underresponsive/sensory seeking student needs more input, and provide the activities at these times.

The frequency of the activities will depend on the individual sensory needs of the student.

Activities do not need to be lengthy. Short frequent activities are often more beneficial. Some activities can be completed in 30 seconds, while others may last several minutes.

Observe the student and monitor when he/she reaches the calm alert state. This will then guide how long and how often activities need to take place.

WHERE will the activities take place?

Some activities can be completed by students without leaving their seats e.g. hand pushes, chair push ups, squeeze objects

Some activities can be completed in the classroom e.g. wall pushes, star jumps, wiping benches

Some activities may have to take place outside the classroom e.g. stacking chairs, jumping on a trampoline, climbing wallbars
